From Destiny's Child to 4

Still Dangerously in Love With Beyoncé

by Rhapsody

One of music's biggest stars has gifted us with one of this summer's biggest albums: yeah, you might say Beyoncé's 4 is a pretty big deal. We politely suggest you listen to it immediately, perhaps while sifting through our Beyoncé-related fanfare. First, Rhapsody Pop Editor Rachel Devitt takes an in-depth look at 4,offers up a greatest-hits playlist reaching all the way back to Destiny's Child, and celebrates pop's girl-power proclivities, from Salt-N-Pepa to The Spice Girls. Speaking of Destiny's Child, Rhapsody Hip-Hop Editor Mosi Reeves takes a closer look at turn-of-the-century R&B girl groups from DC to TLC to SWV, and breaks downs the DNA of Dangerously in Love, B's much-beloved 2003 solo debut. Time to fall crazy in love all over again.
